Calling Target Admins
One year later (almost) to our layoffs, how are things at Target now for the admins? I was laid off last year and just curious. Happy Administrative Profeasionals Day to all of you!
Target Boycott

Targets minimum wage up to $10 an hour
Reuters says Target is raising its minimum wage to $10 an hour, should kick in next month. Also it could affect people who make more than that already, by scaling up?? Has anyone working in-store gotten word about this yet?
I love TGT. Overnight we have 500 new directors.
I love TGT. Overnight we have 500 new directors. We are truly progressing with transformation. Never seen such amazing growth anywhere before. Thanks MM & BC.
I'm uninspired! SL, JJ and BC (aka, Mr. Bold) gave speeches born of fear.
They know the wheels are about to come off at Target and Wall Street will hit them where it hurts, yes their stock options. All three had to read their "from the heart" speeches from teleprompters, no passion comes from that. People are walking... — read more
Starbucks CEO: admits personal failure and learns from it, also passionately respects the people who work for him.
Target CEO: stock price, stock price, stock price; also passionately respects wall st. at the price of the company he is in charge of.
I want to work for someone like Howard Schultz
That is all.
Target Executive leadership has lost its mind.
The whole process was rediculous. Without merit; Group managers become Directors, Directors become Sr. Directors, Sr. _individual contributors become lead individual contributors, nothing individual contributors become Sr. ___ individual... — read more
All Team Leads in my dept are now managers. This after the worst holiday season performance!
Last year they eliminated these manager/Sr manager positions and now they got them back. Some of the team leads who got new desig letters were so confused :) Even they knew they totally dont deserve these new positions. Happens only in TGT! Everyone... — read more
My agile team sucks.
I might very well be on the absolute worst product scrum team ever to exist.

"Target Teams Up With Techstars To Create A Retail-Focused Startup Accelerator" Seriously?
http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/18/target-retail-accelerator/ Why would a tech startup want advice from Target executives? Even if Target had all their ducks in a row when it comes to technology (they sure as hell don't, but play along), why would... — read more

Why Target is losing the retail wars
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/032216/shortsighted-retailers-why-target-losing-retail-wars-tgt.asp some pretty good, valid points
Hmmm, is being American a culture...or does America have multiple cultures.
Why don't people want to be " American" and that be a culture.
How did your review go HQ?
Let everyone know your thoughts on the new "level" you end up at and any info on bonus structure you were provided.
End Employee Abuse
The "Wonderful World of Disney" abused it's employees by eliminating the current US employees and replacing them with foreigners - violating the laws of the US in the process. This MUST end. Target abuses its employees when they hire "new" employees... — read more
One year later
Since the big layoffs, do you think Target as a whole is in a better place, the same, or worse?
Bonuses for all exempt TMs
Well SL just announced Target will now offer bonuses for all exempt employees. That's a nice surprise for the team members. I was excepting bonuses to be cut all together.
Test for Target HR and Leadership team is next few weeks.
So they layed off the supposed dead wood last year and kept the team they wanted. Reviews start being delivered over the next 2 weeks in HQ. The new "levels" kick in, bonus eligible guidelines updated, and leaders get the chance to let team know they... — read more
Does JM actually do anything other than hire EVPs and SVPs?
Since he got promoted to COO all he does is hire more VPS to do the work he was promoted to solve. Dump him and keep the VPs he brought in. That'll save some serious cash. Maybe us smucks could get more than a 1% increase.

Did I hear it right that Ankur got promoted as director? seriously? ROFL. He was about to be thrown out for non ethical stuff last time including f!@#$ around with married female TM, conspiracy against our BI director those days and forcing his team... — read more
New titles coming next week - could be a brutal for many
Instead of a mass layoff this year, Target is changing titles and paygrades. This will seem like a demotion for many and lots will leave on their own. So need to lay off employees and give them severance. Bain FTW!
Does anybody Agile have any actual substantive gossip Agile to share about Target Agile, or is it all Agile vague butthurt now? Agile.
Agile Some of us left there ages ago Agile and just want, you know..news Agile about how things are going. Agile. For reals. Agile.
Karma?
What happened to head of HR?
